James' counsel for spiritual adulterers -- we
Christians who so often worship idols of the heart --
is to humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, and
He will lift us up. Too often we spend our energies
attempting to lift ourselves up, through the things
of this world, rather than trusting the promise of
Christ to satisfy us fully. We need:
1. Readiness to let go of our pride
2. Discernment to see the spiritual warfare
3. Desire for spiritual intimacy
4. Willingness to repent
5. Confidence to believe
